SM Scout

Ok as I was just out of SM with my mage where the Scouts, Mages and Preservers are. I was just killing things here and there cause there was hardly anybody on in the morning when I got off from work. Anyway I was attacking the scout and I moved up just enough to where like a hunter his gun and bow are useless. Well to my surprise the scout just stood there and the only thing he shot at me were his magical flaming arrows. The magic arrows had like a 10 sec or more cool down time and during the cool down the scout just stood there and did nothing.

Ok so u don't get rich nor do u get awesome drops but he at least your not getting hit all to hell!!

works with most ranged attack mobs if you find the (or one of the) right spot(s)
my experience is that you cant lose aggro anymore if you put the mob in that state, even if another one is hitting him (not even taunt worked)

about 2 month ago i(luckily) found a place in ubrs where same happens. i'm a priest and didnt lose aggro but wasnt healing, so all mobs were just victims that shoot their specials (if they have some, if not and just simple ranged attack they wont shoot at all)

edit: works with other mobs too, for example these charging snakes in silithus. they were not evading but didnt attack anymore, i was standing on a hill, that simple
